Airport Revenue News Lauds SFO's Program and Design

SAN FRANCISCO —
Airport Revenue News, the foremost publication on the airport revenue industry, announced
yesterday that San Francisco International Airport was selected in a three-way tie with
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International and Liberty Newark International Airport for having the
Best Overall Concessions Program for a large airport, and in a tie with Atlanta for having the Best
Concessions Design for a large airport.

Nominating and judging for the 2011 awards was conducted entirely online and again resulted in
unprecedented industry participation, with over 1,400 votes cast in five airport categories and 15
specialty retail, news and gifts and food and beverage categories. As in previous years,
airport executives voted for concession companies and concessionaires voted for airport programs.

“Every year, the bar for excellence is raised higher and higher as airports revamp their
programs and offer fresh, high quality brands and concepts to the traveling public,” says Pauline
Armbrust, President and CEO of ARN. “The winners of this year’s competition faced fierce
contenders and should be commended for achieving the ‘best’ status, especially through these
difficult times.”

“To receive this prestigious recognition from
Airport Revenue News is validation of SFO’s commitment of providing our passengers with
the highest quality selection of food and beverage concessions at extremely competitive rates,”
said Airport Director John L. Martin. “With the opening of Terminal 2 next month, it is our
goal to continually build upon this success and elevate the travel experience for everyone at San
Francisco International Airport.”
